Triumph Tiger 850 Sport vs Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Comparison

The new Tiger 850 Sport is positioned as an entry-level offering in the Tiger line-up and is the brand’s most affordable adventurer tourer. It is targeted at first-time ADV buyers and tourers looking for more road-biased mannerisms and easy ride-ability over a fully-blown off-road motorcycle. Compared to the Tiger 900, the new 850 Sport is about Rs. 1.75 lakh cheaper, while sharing most of its underpinnings with the Tiger 900 including the frame, engine, and electronics to an extent. 

The Scrambler Desert Sled is near perfect for someone upgrading from a smaller motorcycle, or for someone who wants to get back into motorcycling after a hiatus, or for someone who wants to begin learning how to ride off-road. The Desert Sled does offer a unique proposition, with retro-cool looks, entertaining performance and decent off-road ability. You can use it for the occasional long ride, and certainly do decent off-road riding on it.
